What are the differences between the classic starshatter and starshatter: the gathering storm? Is TGS sort of "starshatter GOLD", or is it a true sequel to starshatter (not the same missions and storyline)?

Hi Starlord, TGS is not a sequel. It has same missions as previous version. It has hugely improved graphics and some video and audio transitions from missions to another, which adds some feel to the game. I bought the SSTGS to support small developer that has done great job to create one of the best space war simulations.
